Why a GOD Is not like US?

Whenever I saw picture or idol of GOD/ GODESS I always think why their IDOL is not like SHARUKH/ AMITABH I mean why they don’t look as a normal human being.

My belief says in ancient time someone has created a GOD by showing them different than normal human being & that has taken long by adding GOD & GODESS in a list of so many caste. This also gave birth to lots of unconventional Stories.

Just think if a GOD has taken a birth on EARTH. He/ She has come as normal as we came & die as we die, then how come they got extra head, eye or hand.

I am sure this write up will open a moot & I would love to challenge the thought.

Jeete Raho, Kush Rao, Sada Suhagan Raho

If you are an Indian you would have heard these in your life at different age cycle.

Why is that so, why at different age cycle & from where it came?

I was thinking & try to relate what was the reason to given these blessings to our beloved, I think whatever we are having or pursuing is what we developed during our upbringing or the culture in which we have spent beautiful part of our life. What this culture or the history teaches us the reason to give this blessing to beloved.

I believe in era of KINGDOM older people use to give blessing ‘Jeete Raho’ to their sons the reason could be they were the soldiers of their country & their belief was the victory is on the side where the maximum forces lies (It applies in today’s marketing also)

‘Sada Suhagan Raho’ is a blessing received by married woman, but this again will show how much Male dominating society we have. Even the blessing to WOMAN goes in favor of MAN.

‘Kush Rao’ shows the mentality of middle class, this blessing has a message to get satisfied what you have.

If we deeply analyze all these blessing are related to our ancestors who strongly believe that their blessing will rest this world in peace, but it’s not easy.

My favorite “Khush Raho”

Surya "Immortal"

I was thinking generally
Q. Satya kya hai? (What is truth?)

A. Mratyu param satya hai. ( Death is biggest truth)

We all know this answer but what i was also thinking is for me the truth is SUN, we do believe in GOD (Ram, Krishna, Mahaveer) but none of us has seen, what we realise is POWER in universe. SUN is immortal who has seen all our ancestor, GOD to whom we believe. The balance in life is b'cos of SUN, who is driving us & the earth.


I pray god as well as SUN but my believe & wish is more to SUN as he is the one who could see heard & give & will always there whether i will live or dead.


In all kinds of religion SUN has its own importance we haven't realized, what we pray & to whom we pray & the rituals we follow is for SUN.


I will try to explore more & more as & when i get indulge in different ritual & religion.


Cheers,

Rav

Swine Flu



Antidote : “Namaste”


Yes the thought came in mind long back after watching the advertisement of Lifebuoy who is encashing business on showcasing the Antidote against ‘SWINEFLU’, as a marketing guy I strongly support their move & strategy as they took over ‘Dettol’ some one has rightly said the opportunity comes we just need to be patience enough & always watchful you don’t know your turn is right now.

Ok, so what motivates me to right on this topic is purely the tradition & culture to we belong, millions of Indian do ‘Namaste’ that’s the tradition & culture, Today even international traveler do Namaste to tell us through their gesture that we care the way you want.

Swine flu is a contagious disease & I think our ancestors knows that by touching & meeting outsider they might get their germs or their diseases hence the tradition was ‘Athithi Devo Bhava’ & every Athithi get cleaned by flowing water on their hands & feet, in our terms ‘Haath Per Dholo’ :) . Today we shake hands to introduce our selves, rubs our palm & other parts of body to near & dear ones :) don't take me worng it's your mind :)

In my suggestion to fight against the contagious diseases start accepting old tradition & live healthy & happier life.

So now onwards “Namaste”
